...carried off the stage after a performance. His speech is an alternating pattern of comments followed by ghastly croaks that begin somewhere down within his sinewy frame and emerge through a crooked row of half rotten teeth. When I asked him why they called themselves "Cream," he emitted the type of lecherous laugh that would turn anyone with an unmarried daughter into a life-long advocate of the police state: "It was a joke...a dirty joke...
...breakfasts (many kitchenettes are planned for Currier House, expected to eliminate any meal service). As for lunches, many alternatives exist. Most girls are quite happy to cat in the yard, as Lehman's popularity testifies. Perhaps Harvard houses could be opened to Cliffies, with only a limited coffee-shop type of operation at Radcliffe. Or, the University of Pennsylvania manages with a two-meal, no-lunch contract (they serve lunch but it's not required...
...Progressive Labor type cuts his hair, puts on a T-shirt, and goes to work in a factory so he can talk to the workers and educate them about their true plight.

We are familiar with the story of the country innocent corrupted by the wicked city, a plot-type appearing frequently from Griffith's Way Down East through Chabrol's Les Cousins. Hollywood has begun to alter this: the conclusion of the product-mongers appears to be that innocence--at least sexual innocence--no longer exists anywhere, certainly not in the country. Hollywood is probably right: God knows they helped make it that way, and God know there's no money to be made in innocence. The three runaways in Dreifuss...
